Wendy's · Victoria, British Columbia · $37,440 annually

Verdict

This posting shows strong legitimacy signals: Wendy's is a well-known, major fast-food chain with a confirmed official website, active careers section, and verified local presence in Victoria, BC. The employer and location match verification with high confidence (0.98). However, there is a notable occupational mismatch: the posting lists "Water transport deck and engine room crew (NOC 74201)" for a "Crew Member" role at a Wendy's restaurant, which is inconsistent with typical Wendy's employment. This discrepancy raises a moderate fraud concern, though the overall employer legitimacy and application method (direct online via HigherMe) mitigate the risk.
